"Stand up!" Zhou Ming put away his feet and ordered again.

This time, the warrior obediently obeyed, stood up, and looked at Zhou Ming with a confused expression.

"Tell me your name."

"Seita Takeuchi."

"Are you and those people the same people as Takeuchi cut off the water? Your surname is Takeuchi, what is the relationship with this genre? ”

"Oda, Yamashita, digging wells, Matsuda, we are all the directory of Takeuchi's broken water flow. The dojo owner of this generation of Takeuchi Dojo is my father. ”

Shota Takeuchi in this state answered Zhou Ming's questions, and soon, Zhou Ming got a lot of information from him.

It turned out that Shota Takeuchi was the youngest son of Shun Takeuchi, the dojo owner of Takeuchi Broken Water Stream.

Takeuchi Qingta, who has two older brothers, because there is basically no possibility of inheriting the Takeuchi Dojo, so his father has doted on him the most since he was a child, and he is not forced to practice the martial arts of Takeuchi to break the flow of water, and is willing to spend money to train him to engage in his favorite painting career.

However, that all changed a year ago.

There are many martial arts schools in this world, and it is almost common for different martial arts schools to fight each other.

However, because of the ruler's demands, large-scale fights between factions were not possible, and the most common way to resolve disputes was to fight.

A year ago, Takeuchi's sworn rival Oishi Kamikaze came out with a genius, and he reached the level of exemption after only half a year of entry, and then he was brought to Takeuchi by the people of Oishi Kamikaze to challenge.

The result was tragic, Takeuchi Seita's eldest brother was beheaded to death on the spot, and although the second brother was lucky to save his life, he was also paralyzed in bed and could no longer stand up.

In this battle, Takeuchi broke the water flow, although it was a complete failure, but the more serious problem was that the position of the next dojo master was vacant with the death and cripple of the two orthodox heirs.

According to the rules, either the original third heir, Seita Takeuchi, will succeed him, or he will choose an excellent disciple from the dojo as the heir.

In order not to let the position of the dojo master fall into the hands of a foreign surname, Shun Takeuchi forcefully forced Shota Takeuchi to give up painting and switch to practicing martial arts, and pushed him to the position of heir.

Shota Takeuchi has a weak personality since he was a child, and he has no competitive heart, which is completely different from the eldest brother who is naturally strong and the second brother who is sunny and outgoing.

His martial arts talent is not good, even if Shun Takeuchi teaches him and unreservedly instructs him to practice martial arts, his martial arts progress is very slow.

This made Takeuchi Shun more and more disappointed in him, and his temper became more and more irritable, forcing him to practice martial arts even more roughly, and he would be beaten and scolded if he didn't go by the way.

However, such a strict education only made Takeuchi Seita more disgusted with practicing martial arts, and at the same time more careful to pay attention to his words and deeds, for fear of accidentally angering his father and causing him to lose his temper, and over time, his personality became more cowardly and timid.

That's why there is today's scene, as a samurai, Shotai Seota doesn't even have the courage to draw a sword against Zhou Ming, and he begs for mercy so silky.

"What do you mean by the catalogue and the exemption? Is it a hierarchy of martial arts levels? ”

"Yes, my lord, this is a unified standard formulated by the dojo in order to assess the martial arts level of the disciples under the dojo, which is divided into four levels: paper cutting, catalog, exemption, and transmission."

Seita Takeuchi hurriedly explained.

Cutting paper, is the name of the beginner disciple, just beginning to contact the school of martial arts, not good at learning, even go out to compete with others are not allowed to report the name of the school they practice, so as not to lose to the dojo and be embarrassed.

The table of contents is to start learning techniques and moves after crossing the entry stage, which is equivalent to formally teaching real skills.

At this stage of the catalog, after a long period of practice, until the teacher's approval reaches the level of exemption, you are qualified to report your own genre and challenge it everywhere.

The last one is to learn all the techniques of the genre, and it belongs to a real master in a genre, a pillar-type character, and a genre is only a few at most.

"Take me to your ashram where the water flow in Takeuchi is broken."

Zhou Ming gave an order, and the confused Takeuchi Qingta did not hesitate at all, and immediately led the way.

Zhou Ming stepped over the corpses on the ground, ignoring the frightened eyes of the people around him who were frantically trying to escape from him, and strode forward along the street, everyone along the way avoided him, lest he would be slashed by him in his way.

"Let me ask you again, what kind of boundary is this? Which daimyo's territory is it? ”

As the two walked, Zhou Ming continued to ask the next question.

"Ugh." Even in the effect of the Ecstasy Gu, Shota was a little stunned, and seemed a little strange why Zhou Ming would ask such a well-known question.

However, he didn't be stunned for long, and quickly answered Zhou Ming's question: "This is Koriyama Castle, which belongs to the territory of Lord Oda Heizo......"

Under Shota's description, the image of the daimyo named Oda Heizou gradually became clear.

He is now Chinese New Year's Eve four years old, his territory is hereditary, he likes beautiful food, his soldiers and horses are not very strong, and there are no rumors of any ambitions, he seems to be content with the status quo and enjoys his current life very much.

Although Oda Heizou did not come up with any harsh laws to exploit the people, there were horrific rumors such as "ordering the cook to be beheaded because the food was not delicious" and "degrading his family to slavery because the naughty children did not avoid his convoy in time".

It's just that whether it is a false rumor, or whether it is true, or whether it is a set of things behind the front of people, it is not something that can be obtained from the mouths of others.

"In this era, the state had laws, and each daimyo's territory also had laws, and there were clear class divisions, and the laws required different classes ......"

"Civilians killing people in the streets are mostly a dead end. Samurai kills people in the street, but it depends on who they killed and why. If a samurai fights and dies in defeat, it is most likely to be handed over to their respective dojos for resolution, and not judged by law. ”

"If a samurai kills civilians, and there is a reputation that is harmed by the rude act, the right to fight back against the murder can be directly acquitted, at most it will be a loss of money. ”

"As for the nobles killing people, huh......"

"What a backward and chaotic era!"

Zhou Ming let out such an emotion.

"However, it is precisely such an era and such a world that can make reincarnators act with a lot less scruples, and they can let go of their hands and feet to act arbitrarily!"

Zhou Ming raised his head, looked at the building in front of him, and said with a sneer in his heart with a sneer on the plaque of "Bamboo Broken Water Flow" hanging on the gate.

Then, he took a big stride and stepped over the threshold into the dojo.

"Stop, who are you? Hey? Takeuchi-kun! ”

When the two warriors saw Zhou Ming walking in, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop and question.

"Tell them that I'm going to challenge Takeuchi to cut off the water flow and let their dojo master Takeuchi Shun come out."

Zhou Ming didn't talk to those two people directly, but whispered to Shota Shota.

Seita Takeuchi hurriedly read Zhou Ming's words aloud, his tone was reverently as if he was reading a holy decree, and his voice was loud and almost spread throughout half of the dojo.

"Takeuchi-kun, what's wrong with you! As the heir to the Takeuchi Broken Water Stream, how can you say such a thing! ”

"Yaga! You monster, did you control Takeuchi-kun with evil sorcery? ”

One of the two samurai looked at Takeuchi Seita with an anxious face, and the other drew his sword at Zhou Ming with an angry face.

"Hehe, you have the courage to draw a knife from me, yes, then let's start with you!"

The knife light on Zhou Ming's waist flashed, and there was a crisp sound in the air, followed by the sound of "dang chang".

The samurai who drew the sword had only half of the long knife in his hand, and the other half was bounced twice on the ground and lay there quietly.

Zhou Ming put the long knife on the warrior's neck and asked, "Do you admit defeat?" ”

The warrior stared blankly at the broken knife in his hand, as if he couldn't believe that his sword had been cut off so easily.

"Yaga, is there no one who bullies us and cuts off the water flow in Takeuchi!"

The other shouted angrily, shouting at the top of his lungs, trying to summon more of his fellow men to come.

Suddenly, one by one, the warriors rushed out of the dojo, and soon circled around Zhou Mingsi three times inside and three times outside, staring at Zhou Ming one by one.

"What, want to besiege? Is this the spirit of bushido that you take to cut off the flow of water in Takeuchi? ”

Zhou Ming sneered and deliberately mocked loudly.

At this time, a shout came from outside the crowd.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Where the voice sounded, the crowd moved out of the way, and saw three young people walking in with a middle-aged man in their arms.

"Young man, I'm Shun Takeuchi, you broke into our Takeuchi Dojo like this, do you want to challenge me Takeuchi to cut off the water?"

The middle-aged man snorted in a low voice, his eyes were sharp, and he was not angry and arrogant.

"Challenge? Hehe, I'm just here to ask the teacher for sin! Zhou Ming beckoned lightly and called Takeuchi Qingtai to step forward: "Let's tell your dojo master what happened." ”

"Yes!" Shota Qingtai obediently obeyed the order and told all the stories about how Oda and the others provoked Zhou Ming and how they were killed by him one by one.

However, looking at his son's low eyebrows and groveling, Takeuchi Shun didn't listen to what Takeuchi Qingta said, he only felt ashamed and angry, and directly raised his hand to stop Takeuchi Qingta from continuing.

"No more talk!" Shun Takeuchi raised the knife on his body, his eyes were sharp, and he stared at Zhou Ming.

"No matter what your purpose is, since you have stepped into my dojo, everything will be known under the sword!"

"Okay, happy!" Zhou Ming laughed.
